Does setWidth(int pixels) use dip or px?

Question

Does setWidth(int pixels) use device independent pixel or physical pixel as unit? For example, does setWidth(100) set the a view\'s width to 100 dips or 100 pxs?

Based on above answers which works fine to me, i generate some helper methods, just add them in your utils to use them in whole project.

   // value in DP
   public static int getValueInDP(Context context, int value){
        return (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, value, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    }

    public static float getValueInDP(Context context, float value){
        return TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, value, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    }

    // value in PX
    public static int getValueInPixel(Context context, int value){
        return (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, value, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    }

    public static float getValueInPixel(Context context, float value){
        return TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, value, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    }
